Kyocera Innovation Black 5" Slicer (ZK-130 BK)

A lightweight ceramic slicer designed for clean, precise cuts on fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins.

The Kyocera Innovation Black 5" Slicer is built for tasks that benefit from a longer, narrower blade. It provides control during slicing and helps produce even, consistent cuts.

The blade is made from zirconia ceramic. It holds its edge longer than steel and does not react with food. It will not transfer metallic taste or cause browning in ingredients like apples, avocados, citrus, or tomatoes.

This knife produces very clean cuts. The narrow blade moves through food with minimal resistance and leaves smooth, even surfaces.

It is especially useful for slicing high-acid ingredients and delicate items where clean cuts matter. It also works well for sandwich prep and other off-the-board tasks where a larger knife feels cumbersome.

Ceramic behaves differently than steel. It stays sharp for a long time, but it is not flexible. It can chip if used on hard materials or if the blade is twisted during use.

Use it for fruits, vegetables, and boneless proteins. Do not use it on bones, frozen foods, or hard squash. Avoid prying or applying lateral pressure.

The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during repetitive slicing. The upward-angled handle provides a secure grip and helps keep your knuckles clear of the cutting surface.

The blade will not rust or corrode. When sharpening is needed, it requires a diamond wheel or professional service.
